The Dambusker seriously good musicians playing great music with spirit and passion and a mischievous sense of fun". Watching their set at Brampton Live was like stumbling across a damn good party!!" 
Band/artist history
The Dambuskers go back about 4 years but we were all playing together here and there in various permutations and mostly for the fun of it long before that. We still do in fact play in smaller sub division and with other friends now. Keep Music Live -
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We love playing Live thats what we allways do and that is why all our recordings so far are Live. When were not playing actual gigs you will still likely find us playing in the many jam sessions around Bideford and Appldore in Devon or maybe buskin on the street. Its where we came from and why we do what we do. We like making a living out of our art but we still cant stop after that.
Your musical influences
The Dambuskers influences has to be people like Water Boys, Neil Young, Levellers, pogues Tom Petty and more But we dont sound like any of them really. whenever you hear this band do a cover you will say "wow" thats The Dambuskers. Mainly we like our own stuff and traditional Folk but played in a way to pin yer ears back and put springs on yer feet.
What equipment do you use?
We are basically a fiddle band with strong belting vocals, Harmonica, Guitar, Bass, Bodhran thats The Irish drum but the most interesting percussion we have and its in our Baz's arsenal is the Caj'on pronounced Ca hon. This is a Spanish Flamenco drum that looks like a HI Fi speaker that you sit on and play.
Anything else?
So The Dambuskers are Steve Ruffe Mainly lead Vocals Guitar Harmonica Bodhran. Chloe Watson Fiddle Vocals and Guitar. Baz Bix Percussion guitar Vocals Harmonica. Mick Pledge Bass, Guitar, Vocals
